Prop 81, a measure that would have allowed 600 million in funding for California public libraries did not pass by a 55 to 45% margin.
I am so damn disgusted I could spit nails. This would have truly helped my local public library upgarde and add on to their current building.
Also not passing was Prop 82, the universal preschool prop. This I did not mind as I feel if they are putting money into schools they need to put the monies where it's most needed, classroom materials, libraries, updating facilities.......etc
It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...
